Do you have an old project that uses [GNU autotools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Autotools) (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.) to configure the build? Autotools are difficult to work with and don't support generating IDE projects. [CMake](https://cmake.org) provides better support for IDEs and is cross-platform.

This month, Richard Thomson will present a case study in converting a project from using autotools to using CMake. Some of the topics will include:

\- Creating a basic CMake build from the makefile
\- Replacing autoconf feature checks with CMake feature checks
\- Replacing autoconf generated sources with CMake generated sources

This will be an online meeting, so drinks and snacks are on you!
